I've always used gnome-screenshot as you could use a parameter to get it to add dropped shadows in the same way that Mac OSX does with cmd-shift-4 (spacebar).

But I am in the dark ages with GNOME2 still - did gnome-screenshot make it to GNOME3 or was it culled?

I use it all the time on Linux 17 Cinnamon. It ocasionally has an issue when capturing an area: the rectangle overlay showing the selection gets captured too, altering the colors. I get around this by just taking a new shot.

This is really hard to fix, x11 is just terrible at cleaning up windows after they close. slop has lots of precautions to keep it from appearing in screenshots though. maim shouldn't suffer from it.

It has yet to be culled. Presumably after gedit is removed.
